Fedora Events: FSCONS 2010 - Gothenburg, Sweden

The FSCONS 2010 (Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit) is the Nordic countries largest meeting place for social change. It's a conference for and by the people who work to change our future. Legal guardian for the conference is the Society for Free Culture and Software, which is assisted by a host of other organisations.

The event bridges the gap between free software and cultural freedom. Co-arranged by Free Software Foundation Europe, Serengeti, Wikimedia Sverige, Creative Commons, FriBit and EFN, the FSCONS is already a landmark event in bringing the different movements working for digital freedom together.

Gathered around a series of interesting themes, more than 50 speakers will talk in 2010 about topics that include embedded systems, ethics, digital infrastructure, rapid prototyping, hackerspaces, decentralised networks, free software, forks of the free software philosophy and social movements. During the conference, organisations and projects will also be available and present their work including the Fedora Community, Creative Commons, Free Software Foundation Europe and the RepRap Project.

Finally, the FSCONS 2010 will be the 4th time a cross-cultural meeting place where grass root organisations, companies, academics, cultural workers and hackers come together in a united effort to discuss and liberate all aspects of digital culture.
